How to Resize Your Images for Any Platform

Every online platform has different dimension requirements for images. A Facebook cover photo, for example, must be 820 x 312. And an Instagram thumbnail must be 161 x 161. The list goes on — LinkedIn, Tumblr, Twitter, and YouTube have their own size requirements.

We know this can quickly get confusing.

So we’ve built our free online image resizer so that it automatically resizes your image to the correct dimensions for any given platform.

From our “Size” drop-down list, you’ll see a lot of different options.

Just choose whichever platform and type of image you’re trying to optimize and we’ll do the rest.

Don’t have Picture Manager or Preview? No problem

As there are so many different picture editing software packages out there, we’ve chosen only to cover the two main options. However, if you don’t have either of these, there is another way you can edit your image.

Pic Resize www.picresize.com is an online service you can use to resize your images. Follow the instructions on screen to edit your images as needed.

How to Resize an Image on a Mac

The Mac is a powerful tool for people that want to edit images. Many graphic artists prefer to use a Mac when editing, though whether this is a professional or personal choice is up for debate. The available tools are still quite useful though. Here are some of the easiest to use:

1. Preview for Mac

The default photo and image viewer for the macOS, it comes with several editing options including resizing. To do so, follow these steps:

Open the file you want to resize on the Preview App.

Click on Tools, then choose Adjust Size.

Choose ‘Resample’ image.

To do batch image resizes, open multiple images in the same window, then follow the steps as given above.

2. Adobe Photoshop

This popular photo editing program is also available for use on Mac. The steps for image resizing are the same as those for the PC.

TinyJPG/TinyPNG: This site allows you to reduce the file size of your images. There are no editing features; instead, TinyJPG/TinyPNG focuses on compressing files to ultimately reduce the file size, stripping unnecessary data from your image. This also preserves quality and is best used as a complementary tool to other editing techniques used to reduce file size. TinyJPG/TinyPNG are free to use.

Bulk Web Resizer: Do reduce file size for images in bulk, this site allows you upload a batch of images and then resize according to your desired dimensions. You can also adjust the image quality to your needs (choose 100 if you want to preserve the original quality), as well as sharpen images.

ImageOptim: ImageOptim can be used in your web browser or via a Mac application. To shrink files, ImageOptim gets rid of EXIF meta­data, such as GPS position and the camera’s serial number — however, you can choose to keep specified metadata intact (which is essential to optimizing your product photos for SEO).

There’s also a Lossy minification option, which ImageOptim says will result in the smallest file size possible, while preserving image quality. ImageOptim has pricing plans, starting at $9/month for 1,000 image optimizations.

Rotate Photo or Image

Photos taken with some cameras (especially iPhone and iPad cameras using iOS 5 and later) may need to be rotated and/or saved in correct orientation before being uploaded into CTI Navigator. (See "Fix Photo Orientation " for details.)

You can easily rotate a photo or scanned image in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction in Windows as follows.

Paint users in Windows 10, 8 and 7:

1. Open the image in Paint (one of the Windows Accessories apps).
2. Click the Home tab
3. Click the Rotate Icon
4. Select Rotate Right 90 �, Rotate Left 90�, Flip Vertical, Flip Horizontal.

Paint users in Windows Vista and XP:

1. Open the image in Paint (one of the Windows Accessories programs).
2. Click Image
3. Click Flip/Rotate
4. In the box that opens, select to flip an image horizontally or vertically, or rotate the image by 90, 180, or 270 degrees.

PIXresizer (download) can be used to both rotate images and reduce their file size.

To rotate a photo on a Mac, launch the iPhoto app. Then select File, Import, Rotate Clockwise (or Counterclockwise).

Online service: You also can resize, rotate, flip or crop an image in your browser by using an online image editor such as the free Google Photos, or FlipMyPhotos.
